Hold your loved ones close: Steam's Holiday Sale begins
Comment
Oh, bollocks. If you take a gander at Steam today, you'll end up staring into the abyss of bargains and discounts, because the Steam Holiday Sale is upon us. I hope you haven't spent all your money on Christmas shopping, or maybe it's a good thing if you have; you won't be throwing all your money at valve over the next week, from today until January 3.
Perhaps most notable amongst the Daily Deals is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It only just appeared on Steam today, and it won't launch next year, but it's a bit of a steal at £15.40.
Heroes & Generals asks players to start at the bottom in its Newgarden update
Comment
Heroes & Generals rather sells itself with its pitch - a war game that’s both FPS and, well, wargame - but this reminder certainly can’t hurt: it exists. Not only that, but since we last took a proper look at it in September, it’s grown like mould on an abandoned crate of spitfire parts buried in Burma. Its most recent protrusions are realistic-yet-practical prone positioning, character progression seemingly modelled on real armed forces careers, and nicer graphics for all.

Their suggestions are often helpful - a fact which only serves to highlight their cunning - and quickly adopted by developers. A trusted PCGN source once swore blind he saw a backer eat a baby without even checking to see if anybody else wanted it first.
On the day of Republique’s iOS release, Camouflaj co-founder Ryan Payton has promised them another chance to flex their powers.
Aww: Mojang offer every Scrolls owner the chance to gift a free copy to a friend
Comment
I see you’ve got some Scrolls there. How about some more? Reams and reams of Scrolls, flying off the holder like toilet paper in an Indian restaurant, practically mummifying you. Would you like that?
Alternatively, you could offer some of that extra Scrolls to a friend. “It’s the most Christmassy time of the year!,” exclaim Mojang. “There is no catch!”
